This is the best story as well as the most humorous of Donny’s antics….of course I am talking about the pool in DC.
Everybody knows this story for it has been the main meme on social media for days….but in case you are unaware….To make the Pool suitable for Donny’s appearance he had the pool drain, painted blue, then refilled and that is when this story took off for after a it was refilled it turned slimy green from an algae bloom and Donny got all uppity and started blaming everyone he could think of for the screw up….domestic terrorists are putting the bloom in the water, protesters are cutting the lining making the bloom more prolific
A top National Park Service official now has backed up President Trump’s account that the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool didn’t fall apart on its own. In a court filing on Wednesday, Deputy Director Frank Lands states that part of the pool’s liner “was cut with a sharp knife or razor” on June 9 after a $14.2 million renovation was largely finished—echoing the president’s claims of vandalism. Lands’ statement, filed in a lawsuit aimed at halting Trump’s renovation, describes sliced caulk over foam sealant, damage to surface material, and about 70 fence post caps tossed into the water, the Guardian reports.
In addition, about 70 fence post tops were thrown into the pool, Lands said, per the AP. An Interior Department spokesperson said Thursday that public notification about the damage was delayed because: “At the time of the June 9 incident, the vandalism was under investigation and believed to be isolated. So as not to encourage deranged individuals, we did not announce what we hoped to be an isolated incident.” The Park Service plans to drain the pool after July 4 to inspect and repair the lining, per the Guardian. Officials have yet to release evidence backing Trump’s report of a 350-foot “gash,” even as US Park Police circulate video of a person reaching into the pool in a separate property-destruction probe.
… and as usual Obama gets the blame….
On June 22, while signing an executive order in the Oval Office (via YouTube), a news reporter pressed him on the restoration project of the Lincoln Memorial Pool. He asked the POTUS about his April 2026 claim, when he mentioned that the project would be completed within a week and would cost only a million dollars.
Trump interrupted the reporter, asking him, “Barack Hussein Obama, have you ever heard of him?” He replied, “Yeah.” Trump slammed Obama, stating that he had spent “over $100 million on trying to fix it. You know what happened to it? Never even opened.”
He doubled down on his criticism of Obama, saying that he took the water from the river, which damaged the entire monument. The Commander-in-Chief added, “Spent over 100 million, him and Biden together spent $147 million. You know what happened? Never opened. You don’t mention that, right?”
President Trump talked about his restoration project, which lasted about “6-7 weeks,” and he spent “around $10 million.” He disputed reports that the project cost $16 million, saying the higher figure reflected labor costs. He continued, “They were going to spend four years. I spent 2 months, maybe less. And I have a better product.”
He said that the damage occurred after the project concluded, stating that someone damaged the landmark with a knife, claiming to have pictures of the individual responsible for the damage. Trump did not disclose the identity of the individual, stating that they will see it in court.
Seriously this is one of the best stories in recent history….
One writer pointed out that Donny promised to drain the swamp and the best he could do was the reflecting pool and he screwed that up like everything else he touches.
This story should provide lots of humor in the coming days and I will be watching…..this has turned into theater of the absurd….and it makes me smile.
It can only get funnier…..
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
Laughing about his blunders is much better than crying over him destroying anything left of democracy that we have. 🤭
TRue and this just illustrates what a d/bag he really has become. chuq
Oh yes, it can only get funnier — as the box cars, train cars, buses, planes, etc. start loading up the 140-million members of the perceived enemy from within and start carting them off for 50-100 year sentences in the 8-thousand detention centers (5-thousand of which have already been built) which have a capacity far exceeding immigration concerns, aided by the data centers that will likely become the new surveillance state —Oh yes, it can get a lot funnier fast!
You wanted law and order….now you have it….but what does that have to do with a single cell organism? chuq
The sad part of all this is that some poor saps are probably going to end up doing serious prison time for supposedly vandalising the pool.
Best wishes, Pete.
You’re absolutely right, Pete. While the people responsible for this fiasco get off scott free, a few people who were guilty of nothing but touching the water in the pool or picking up pieces of the liner are going to get dragged through the courts.
AS long as he has these nazis in the DoJ then you may well be right. chuq
The story would be hilarious if it weren’t for the fact that his fake judge/prosecutor is going to be bringing charges of vandalism, damage to government property and perhaps even terrorism against completely innocent people instead of investigating and charging the person who illegally awarded a no-bid contracts to companies that had no experience in actually doing the work. Green Water “just happens” to be owned by someone who made massive donations to one of Trump’s pacs and lives next to Mar-a-largo. It was also awarded a “no bid” contract to try to “clean” the Tijuana river with very questionable results as well.
The company that did the actual liner, Atlantic Industrial Coatings… Wow. Just wow… Here’s an article over at the New Republic that tells about that piece of work… https://newrepublic.com/post/211004/firm-reflecting-pool-renovation-cash-grab-profit-margins Eddie Wood, listed as one of the “owners” of Atlantic? Previous experience was the owner of Little Creek Farm and Lumber. The company’s website is now listed as “suspended”.
cronies.
Everything about this stinks of it being another scam by the white house to funnel our tax money into the pockets of his cronies.
Donald Trump spews nonsense in seeming endless fashion about his pool project, Ballroom, etc., but usually loudmouthed global gangsters Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are especially silent on Section 219 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act – you know, the Section 219 which actually merges the militaries of the United States and Israel, fundamentally destroying/ending 250 years of American sovereignty.
I could not believe it when I first heard about it and so far there has not been much clarification…….chuq
Everything Frump touches DIES
I know and I weep for this nation. chuq
